Mary Selecky, former Secretary of Health of Washington State and former Administrator for the Northeast Tri-County Health District in Washington State received the 2013 Maurice “Mo” Mullet Lifetime of Service Award. This award recognizes current or former local health officials who have provided service to NACCHO and have shown significant leadership and achievement in local public health.

Crook County Health Department in Prineville, Oregon, was awarded the 2013 Local Health Department of the Year award for small health departments (those serving fewer than 49,999 residents). The award recognizes Crook County Health Department for its excellent use of the Health Impact Assessment process. Not only did the assessment collect information used to create a 20-year transportation plan, it led to a $500,000 award from the Oregon Department of Transportation to update bicycle and pedestrian paths.
